Dear monks,
when I run the following code

#! perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
use Carp;
use DBI;
use DBD::Oracle qw(:ora_types);


my %env_hash;
my $os = 'solaris';
my $stringetje;
my $temp;
my @tempar;
my @wkflist;

my $PARAMETER;

$env_hash{$os} = {parfile => '/ontw/data/powercenter8/PRJ10/BMRK.par',
                                    del => 'rm -f ',
                                    files => 'wf_BMRK*.out'};

open($PARAMETER, '<', "$env_hash{$os}{parfile}") or croak "\nCould not
+ open parameterfile $env_hash{$os}{parfile}";
while($temp = <$PARAMETER>){
    chomp($temp);
    @tempar = split /=/, $temp;
    if($tempar[0] eq "WKFLIST"){
        @wkflist = split /,/,$tempar[-1];
    }
    else{
        $env_hash{$os}{$tempar[0]} = $tempar[-1];
    }
}

close $PARAMETER;

$stringetje = $env_hash{$os}{del} . $env_hash{$os}{LOGDIR} . $env_hash
+{$os}{files};

print "\n\n\n\n******************************************************\
+n";
print "\nFirst part of the concatenation: delete command : $env_hash{$
+os}{del}";
print "\nSecond part of the concatenation: path : $env_hash{$os}{LOGDI
+R}";
print "\nThird part of the concatenation: file wildcard : $env_hash{$o
+s}{files}";
print "\nThe resulting concatenation: $stringetje";
print "\n******************************************************\n\n\n\
+n";

and use the following parameter file BMRK.par:

TIMES=4
LOGDIR=/ontw/log/powercenter8/PRJ10/
TMPDIR=/ontw/data/powercenter8/Tmp/PRJ10
FOLDER=BMRK
SERVICE=IS_PRJ10
DOMAIN=Domain_ONT
USER=Administrator
PASSWORD=**********
WKFLIST="wf_BMRK_File2File_Fixed","wf_BMRK_File2File_Fixed_No_Target",
+"wf_BMRK_File2File_Delimited","wf_BMRK_File2File_Memory","wf_BMRK_Fil
+e2File_CPU"
ORAUSER=jamb_007
ORAPSW=**********
ORACONNECT=dow02.ont.jon.mg

this renders the following output:

******************************************************

First part of the concatenation: delete command : rm -f 
Second part of the concatenation: path : /ontw/log/powercenter8/PRJ10/
Third part of the concatenation: file wildcard : wf_BMRK*.out
wf_BMRK*.outg concatenation: rm -f /ontw/log/powercenter8/PRJ10/
******************************************************

However, If I hardcode the $env_hash{$os}{LOGDIR} parameter, as the other $env_hash{$os} parameters the output is the correct:

******************************************************

First part of the concatenation: delete command : rm -f 
Second part of the concatenation: path : /ontw/log/powercenter8/PRJ10/
Third part of the concatenation: file wildcard : wf_BMRK*.out
The resulting concatenation: rm - f /ontw/log/powercenter8/PRJ10/wf_BM
+RK*.out
******************************************************

I have absolutely no clue why this behaves as it does. As some parameters are shared, I'd like to keep the parameter file (so hardcoding the parameters which does work is not really an option). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
